Barrington $85 on wayfair.com (4 Viewers)

I keep seeing people use "price mistake" but I doubt that is the case. These tables have sold in that price range before. I paid around $90 including tax for the one I got retail so the wholesale price of these is certainly low enough for someone to run a flash sale at this price.

I'm sure that the degen demand was sooo high once the PCF crowd unloaded on them that they won't run them back again at that price, but selling at $85 is not going to be a loss for them. They are a wholesale/liquidation type store so they probably picked them up as unsold or returns to begin with.

They will be at that price again, once they are overstocked again and demand slows at over $300.00.

I got the Espn 1 during Christmas couple years ago for $105.
 
If only OP would have made this in the Craigslist/eBay forum. That's the only one I'm watching for the friendly 'hey this is for someone else deals'

I wouldn't be so sure. I've had all sorts of alerts set on these since joining here. I haven't seen anything sub-200 since 2022. Best price I had seen previous to this was ~220 (barring the 3 tables that menards had that sold out in 5 minutes as well).
 
I wonder if Wayfair picks items every once in a while that are low in stock, then put a crazy deal, just to generate buzz online and in social media.
Would definitely cause more traffic to similar items or just the site in general.

Most likely inventory goes by age. Once it hits an age they turn it.

A poker table could probably sit for a year before they get worried. Once their days supply reaches too high it goes on sale.

(Hence my reason I don’t believe the chip market is saturated. If Jim had another sale tomorrow it would perform well and his DJs will most likely still sell out in a month or so. That’s turning inventory once every 30 days. 12x a year. Silly strong) but back to OP…I’m guessing these tables just had their 1 year bday or something…and their pricing matrix takes over.

Agreed, there's a cost associated with it taking up space at a warehouse. Someone's alarm bells went off, or they needed to make room for more overpriced shit lol
 
I think it was definitely a pricing mistake. They said as much to @Saoliver
But more convincing to me - I haven’t seen anything close to that price in 4-5 years. And free shipping? That table HAS to cost Wayfair at least $20 to ship, but I bet it’s more than that.
Anyway I think you’re whistling past the graveyard if you think you’ll find a price like that again.
 
Cheapest price I've seen was $75 at Walmart post-Christmas, but that was several years ago.

Anything in double-digits is a steal, and consider yourself lucky if you can find one these days for less than $200.
